Money can't solve all your problems, but it gives you better problems to solve than if you were poor.

I'd rather cry in a Benz than cry on the bus.ย 

Wealth does not make someone more grateful, that's an intrinsic trait.ย

@funcouponsย that's so true, and it has been my perspective towards money for a LONG time.

And adding to what you're stating about being grateful, well once one has suffered only then can one be grateful.

I vybe with that although at times seems like we can skip the pain but we still go through it to truly learn.

I think to become wealthy and continue being wealthy, you must first live in an abundance mindset. Nobody can be successful and make good decisions if they're bitter and angry. So yes.

Yes. Abundance mindset is critical. You don't have to lose for me to win.

Unfortunately, so many people choose to instead feel like they're part of some zero-sum game where they're on the losing end.

I have a friend who everyone thinks he is a terrible business owner, why? He overpays. Ironically, he's employees always hit quota, they are always applicants flying through the window, his company has grown 3 times in a year (20 - 60) yet many believe it's pure luck, since he is a terrible administrator.

Is it so hard to see that his employees appreciate the extra cash and in return they give an extra push?

Share the wealth and more will come!

Money is a ledger and many currencies are being abused by the nodes (aka the federal reserve in the case of the U.S) My hope is cryptocurrency will become widely accepted everywhere so we can use that anywhere in the world rather than get gouged by a middle man trying to convert one currency to another. Ultimately money can make life a lot easier for you, but I don't believe it leads to fulfillment and lasting happiness. It just makes doing whatever you want to do easier if you have more money.

Im with you on the crypto space, but it seems like a lot of new folks flocked in right b4 the bear market - not a good rep.ย 

I only made money with crypto but it sure made it easier for me to get my PS5, which I let all of my sales stress off on.

Money doesn't bring happiness, it DOES however help you avoid hardship. Finding the right balance is key.ย

"No man can get rich himself without enriching others." If you mean financially rich, I beg you to look at the list of billionaires, reconsider and get back to me.

If you mean more in a philosophical sense, sure.

I don't know them deep enough to reconsider, but if you are around them and do business with them its only a consequence. Yes Jeff Bezos may be RMA but, he made a ton of people a ton of money along the way.

Bezos has arguably made the world a worse place and has made some folks rich but has helped ruin other people's lives.

Mark Zuckerberg has enabled disinformation to spread like a disease, which in turn has spread death and disease.

The Koch brothers....yeah, not gonna open up that can of worms

You've got a bunch of oil folks on the list who covered up climate change

People with tobacco fortunes are also plentiful on that list

That is definitely true, they are just part of the chess game like everyone else. Very interesting - perhaps they forgot about gratitude along the way to their riches.

I think gratitude is a wealthy way of living your life. Not only does it help you feel better, but you will keep attracting your thoughts, if they are grateful, well.. Great post!

I think if you want to build a sustainable, profitable business/team then being grateful for your employees and acknowledging their choice in coming to work for you every day is a good practice.

People that are valued should feel valued (in terms of how you treat and pay them) - they will go further for you and they'll stick around to do it longer as a result.

Plenty of profitable companies run otherwise (just look at Oracle's staff turnover) but the environment isn't likely as enjoyable to work in. But if all you care about is money, maybe that doesn't matter.

I love money, as simple as that, it can make everything easier or at least 90% of the problems, my opinion may sound greedy as hell but as far as i have lived that's how it has been for meย ย
